Smith delivers a new romantic winner featuring another dashing, roguish Ryland brother, scandalous rake Brahm. After losing the one woman he ever truly loved, Brahm gets another chance at happiness when he's reunited with the beautiful but unforgiving Eleanor.

From The Publisher:Another London season has just wound down and Brahm Ryland, Viscount Creed, is thankful for it. Since a horrible mistake ruined his betrothal to the beautiful Lady Eleanor Durbane, his life as a scandalous bachelor has grown tedious; every day without Eleanor seems longer than the last. But then a break in the monotony appears: an invitation to a shooting party at the home of Lord Burrough, Eleanor's father, and he knows his chance to make amends has come at last.

Yet Brahm soon finds that Eleanor will need more than a simple apology to atone for his betrayal -- and after so many years of hurt it will take time and care to make her learn to trust again. When all her sisters warn her against him, she knows she would be a fool to give their passion another chance. But what Eleanor doesn't know is that London's boldest viscount will do anything -- anything -- it takes for a second chance at his one true love.

About The Author:I couldn't help but become a writer. It all started with my mother, who used to make up her own stories to tell me at bedtime. One particular tale about termites and a grizzly will never be forgotten. My father also spins a wicked tale. In fact, you'll never know if what he's telling you actually happened or not. (A word of caution: If you ever meet my dad, don't ask him what happened to his finger. The truth is almost as wince-worthy as the story he'll tell.) If you'd like to know more about my stories, I can often be found yakking away on various reader boards.
